You Deliver Me from Evil

Dark clouds hide Your Presence as You soar across the sky
Coming to our aid, on the wings of wind You fly
Using lightning as an arrow coming from Your bow
Scattering Your enemies on the earth below

From Your holy temple, my cry comes to Your ears
You know of my distress and capture all my tears
You bring me to a spacious place out of danger’s way
Seeing all that happens, You hear me when I pray

Who is God besides the Lord? In You I put my trust
What is man that You take note, made from the earth’s dust?
Your glory sent from heaven fills the entire earth
On this side of time, none can comprehend Your worth

You train my hands for battle, my arms can bend a bow
You deliver me from evil and destroy my foe
Therefore, I will praise You, God among the nations
Worthy are You Lord, of praise from all creation

2 Samuel 22:10-15 – “He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet.
11 He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind.
12 He made darkness his canopy around him—the dark rain clouds of the sky.
13 Out of the brightness of his presence bolts of lightning blazed forth.
14 The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.
15 He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy, with great bolts of lightning he routed them.”

Psalm 8:3-4 – “When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, 4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?”

2 Samuel 22
Psalm 104
